Th e Conservative Cheers which greeted Mr. MOOR, the newly-elected member for Brighton, last evening,upon his taking his seat for the first time in the Rouse of Commons, have (we may be quite certain of that) their especial significance. They mean mischief. They point the moral of what is called—(it matter s little, by the way, what the thing is called, ma; - ng that its existence, term it what you wi ll ,ls quite visible and manifest all around us)—" the conservative Reaction." It adorns the tale of a long increasing, and now tole rab,y clear and perfectly "cure majority —on the side of the Oppos i t ion. Never, perh a p s , i n th e annals of Parliament, ha s Oppositi on b een so an deliberat e ly bent upon biding its tim e -- upon hus banding its resources with all care, but, bond y everything else, upon " biding its time." The turn in the balance of members has long been p ee „ d. At any time during the last twelvemonth the Con e servatives in the House of Commons might, upon a well selected opportunity, have put Ministers in a minority, It is within the recollection of the country that, during these two last sessions of Parliament, Ministers have in truth been defeated u p o n divisions over and over again. The year be fere last, that is 1862, came to be known jocu larly as the seesion of -Wednesday Dafeats for the liberal side of the House, the side of the Govern ment. And this, moreover, upon all kinds of Re form questions of more or less importan ce . A n d t hi s was so far back in the history of the present Ad ministration, that it will be remembered now as time' and again, 'when Sir as having occurred, GEORGE CORNEWALL LEWIS was apparently in the full vigour of his career both its scholar and ad ministrator, both as statesman and as man of letters, and when there was no suspicion whatever of any probably sudden collapse of those remarkable in tellectual powers, which were, nevertheless, all the while, being overwrought so pitilessly. Then it was that that English Minister, with others of his col- ,~ leagues, would often, upon those fatal Wedinesdays, upon those Wednesdays so fatal to the Liberal cause and so pernicious to the last degree to the t reputation of the Government, after speaking upoia one side coolly go into the lobby upon the other, blow hot and blow cold, and by necessity come t 3 grief re peatedly in consequence. Session after session the ranks of the Ministerial supports have 'been visibly and appreciably diminishing. Having' said which, it becomes, of course, in a manner superfluous to add that session after session ear: confronting ranks of the Opposition have as -visibly and as appreciably increasing. A single loss to the one side, has, upon each occasion o course, been a double gain to the other. A fact that was, at any moment, open to demonstration, upon a division of the whole House, supposing any fitting opportunity for such, a division might have occurred. The increasing disorganisation of the Liberal Party within the walls of the House of Com mons has all this while been emulated by :a disor ganisation no less lamentable, no less glaring of its kind outside the House,!among the great mass of electors, wherever a chance has presented itself to the Opposition for contesting any vacant seat until then sacred to the vindication of tho interests of Liberalism. A more signal illustration of what is here referred to—this external disorganisation as emulating the internal disorganisation of the great Liberal Party in the House of Commons itself— could not be adduced than has been presented to view by the result of this recent election down at Brighton. That result has been the distinct loss to the Liberal party of a seat in the House, and, at the same time, a positive gain to the Conservative Opposition of two votes upon any very important division, any division that is, upon which the fate of the Ministry might happen to be dependent. What was tolerably certain long since, therefore, namely, that the small Liberal majority with which four years ago Lord PALMERSTON and his col leagues undertook to carry on the labours of Go vernment, in this present House of Commons, has not only dwindled away altogether, but has been trans formed on the contrary, by the loss of seat after seat, into a small Conservative majority, hitherto held in terrorem before Ministers by the astute leader and the faithful whips of the Opposition—what in this way was tolerably certain before, is now—by every additional loss of a seat to the Liberals and every additional gain thereby of two votes to the Conservatives, rendered more and more mutter for absolute certainty. The Opposition has meanwhile waited so long that it appears to feel as if it could afford to wait yet a little while longer for the selection not simply of an opportunity, but of the very best of all possible opportunities. And, certainly, never has any Ministry —even Lord JOHN'S, even Lord MELBOURNE'S (towards the close of each)—played more wilfully or more deliberately into the hands of their oppo nents. Ministers, indeed, would almost seem to be bent—beyond everything else—upon testing the powers of endurance, not of. the Opposition alone, but of many of the more independent among their own supporters. We are glad to find that Mr. LAIRD'S Chain Cables and Anchors Bill has passed the second reading, and is ordered to be committed on Wednes day next. No time will therefore be lost in con verting this very useful and humane measure into law, thereby diminishing the frightful loss of life and property which annually takes place on our shores. We have frequently called attention to this matter, and have discussed the objects and merits of the previous Bill very fully, since it has long since become painfully evident that it was entirely useless to trust to the manufacturers to produce a sterling article unless they were by law compellea to do so. It, is only astonishing that legislation on this subject should have ben so long delayed, especially after it had been publicly ascertained that about 80 per cent, of the cables actually tested failed to stand the trial. Influenced possibly by the public feeling on the matter, the opponents of the measure have this year withdrawn from active opposition, contenting themselves with making disparaging comments. Mr. LAIRD in bringing it forward observed that there was a slight alteration from the bill of last year. The interference of the Board of Trade is now limited to licensing com panies or persons, not being manufacturers, to erect testing machines. It is satisfactory to find that owing to the modifications in the present measure, the Shipowners Association, who opposed the Bill last year, now give it their warm support. We have already hard that LLOYDS' committee are strongly in its favour, as is the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and most of the chambers of commerce throughout the country, as well as nearly the whole of the principal chain cable and anchor manufacturers of the kingdom. Mr. LAIRD pointed out that since nine out of ten of those who used these articles were anxious for the Bill, it was most incorrect to object to it on the ground of interfering with trade. With regard to the difficulty about the testing-houses, the hon. member for Birkenhead said that the manu facture was chiefly carried on in certain localities where iron and coal are cheap, and that testing machines were already established in London, Liverpool, Stafford, on the Clyde, and at other places. The Bill, too, is not to come into effect until July, 1565, so that there will be ample time to erect any machinery that may be requisite. The wreck returns of last year tell us that 93 vessels were lost from the parting of cables, a fact which would alone,, one would think, silence all opposition to any remedial measure. Sir S. ELPHINSTONE, who was formerly member of the Anchors and Cable Committee, brought forward most valuable evidence in support of it. Mr. LAIRD observed that it had been proved that the difference between danger and safety to a small ship of 350 tons burden ilmountel to only £7 10a. ; while for a ship of 1,000 tons, costing £25,000, the difference was only £35. If for these trifling sums vessels are to be constantly imperilled, it ie, indeed, putting the old adage into practice, of "spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar." Sir J. ELPHINSTONE also said " that the amount of tonnage wrecked, or seriously damaged, in 1862, was 325,949 tons ; and putting this at an average of £lO a ton, the yearly loss of property was no less than £3,259,430, and this, too, accompanied by the loss of nearly 1,000 lives out of the 14,000 placed in jeopardy. Surely this ought to be put an ens to." No one can have studied the Wreck .Register without being appalled at the number of vessels annually lost round our shores, the greater proportion being of course the small ill-found vessels that trade round the coasts. The owners of these vessels are too often indifferent to the loss of the ship, since an c ompensates them, and men's am ple insurance fully lives in some quarters appear, to go for nothing. Mr. HASSARD mentioned a case within his own magisterial experience in which some men had been brought before him for deserting a vessel loading ore upon a rock-boand coast. It was necessary whenever there was a south wind te shosihpipeciaunipcpheodr and be off, but so ingeniously was that when they put out an anchor strong enough to hold the ship the cable invariably gave way; when they put out a cable of suitable resisting powers the anchor never failed to come home. Under these circumstances the magistrates dismissed the complaint, but how many men have gone down at sea from the same cause ? The Mercantile Marine Association of Liverpool, a body consisting principally of captains and mates of vessels, a class who are certainly not given to a restless desire for change or to theoretical innovations, have presented a petition in favour of some legislation on this sub ject. The principal voice raised against Mr. LAIRD'S bill was, as on former occasions, that of Mr. LINDSAY, who, in a most illogical and contra dictory speech, denounced the measure both in principle and practice. The testing, he said, was no security against danger, because however highly you tested a cable the pressure of the gale might be so great as to break it. However strongly a ship is built there is no certainty that she may not spring a leak in some of her voyages, but she is not for that reason ordinarily sent to sea with a leak in her bottom. All manufactures might go down to a very low ebb if this prin ciple were adopted. Bat Mr. LINDSAY'S assertions are still more marvellous. He ap pears to think that cables and T anchors are destined to rust out in the manufactory where they are first made, and that it is perfectly impossible to transport them from one place to another. He complained that the bill would destroy the trade of all the small makers, who could not afford the ex pense of testing machines, and would throw the monopoly into the hands of a few large manufac turers in Staffordshire and Wales. At the same time it would destroy the business of one of the largest firms existing, Messrs. BROWN, LENNOX, and Co., because their manufactory being in Wales there would be no testing machines in their neigh bourhood, and 3,000 or 4,P00 workmen must, con sequently, be thrown out of employment. Alas for Mr. LINDSAY'S argument ! Messrs. BROWN, LEN NOX, and Co. manufacture for the Admiralty,where the testing is indispensable. They have also, it seems, a testing machine of their own at Cardiff, and another in London, where the mooring chains which they supply to the Admiralty are tested under the supervision of the Government, the other chains being tested in the dockyard. A clause, we think, might with advantage be introduced per mitting the establishment of a testing machine on the premises of large firms, under Government in spection, the expense of the official being defrayed by the firm. Also the method tried last year in London, by means of which two or three men very quickly tested long and heavy chain cables by hydraulic pressure, is worth examination. All these points can be examined into in committee, and we earl only regret that any gentleman, more especially a shipbuilder of Mr. LINDSAY'S standing, should remain so obstinately hostile to a measure which is so well calculated to promote the best interests of trade as well as serving the more important end of preserving life at sea from unnecessary risks. At a time when the serious attention of Parlia ment is invoked to determine on the respective merits of the various lines of railway with which it is proposed to intersect the metropolis, and when, despite the depreciation of railway stock generally, a new railway mania seems to have sprung up, it behoves us to consider seriously whether sufficient protection is afforded to railway travellers by the enactments of the Board of Trade. We desire that all commercial undertakings in this country may be unrestrained and unfettered by Legislative restrictions as far as possible, with due regard to the safety and general interests of the public, but it must be borne in mind that great privileges have been conferred upon railway companies, and in re turn for such privileges the public has a right to demand that proper precautions be adopted fur their safety and convenience. There exists in many districts of the metropolis a kind of panic. Thousands of houses have been doomed by several conclaves, which only await the sanction of Parlia ment to commence their work of demolition. It may be said by the supporters of the new schemes that the many will reap advantages for the inconve niences of the few. These advantages will lose much of their charms if stringent measures are not taken to ensure, as far as possible, safety to the travellers. The practice of ensuring one's life before starting upon a railway excursion is a prudent one, and the success of the company which provides a pecuniary redress for railway ac cidents shows that the public • appreciate its advantages. But is it not the duty of the Board of Trade to render it compulsory on all rail way companies to take all necessary precautions to prevent accidents, Last week a serious accident took place on the Maldon and Whitby branch of the North-Eastern Railway, which resulted in the deaths of two individuals and the serious injury of many others, The last passenger train for Mal don " travelled safely as far as the bank top in Gothland. There the engine was detached, and the train, as is usual, was hooked on to a break van, to which a rope of wire is attached, and was pushed over the bank on to the incline in the usual way. The trains are lowered by a stationary engine at the top, and last night all was considered to be in proper working order. When probably about 150 yards on the descent the rope suddenly broke, and the train was left to its career down nearly a mile of incline, of which the gradient is 1 in 14. At this part of the incline the line curves sharply to the right, crossing the Elderbeck. The train passed the bridge in safety, but a few yards further on left the rails and rolled over. Assistance was promptly obtained from Whitby, and the victims and the rest of the passengers forwarded to that town. This is not the first accident which has occurred on this incline, and the North-Eastern Company has lately obtained a deviation act, and the new line is fast approaching completion, when we believe that this portion of the line will be abandoned." Such a proceeding is highly creditable to the company, but the very fact of their incurring the expense of constructing a new line for this portion of the route proves at once that they are aware of the dangers to which passing trains are subjected, to say nothing of the expense and delay which are en tailed by the nse of a stationary engine. Under these circumstances, we consider that they have been remiss in not providing their trains with self acting breaks affixed to all the carriages or wag gons. The van to which the train was attached was provided with two breaks, we are informed, but these, owing to the frozen and slippery state of the rails, were powerless to check the velocity of the train. We do not draw attention to this case be cause we consider that the North Eastern Railway Company were more negligent in this instance than railway companies generally are. Thousands of trains had passed up and down the incline with safety, and there was no reason to believe that the one in question would fare worse than its predeces sors. The pitcher goes a hundred times to the well, but at last it is broken, and the misfortune is set down to accident. A human life cannot be replaced, and therefore the accident should be guarded against as far as possible. The breaking of the wire rope may have been caused by the frost, but if the carriages had been provided with self-acting breaks the worst inconvenience that would have been experienced would have been a short delay. Years ago a patent was taken out for a simple contrivance to prevent accidents in the mining districts by the breaking of the chain by which the cages are drawn up the shafts, a powerful clamp is fixed to the top TIM SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1864. of the cage, travels up the ways, and is connected with the hook of the chain in such a manner that when the cage is suspended it travels freely up the ways; but should the chain break, and the strain be taken off the clamp, it at once bites fast to the ways, and holds the cage fired. Why should not such a contrivance be adapted to all railway car riages by a simple contrivance of this kind. Labour would be saved to the guards, and safety ensured to the public. By having the breaks so arranged they would be relieved by the strain on the coup • ling-chains caused by the tractive force of the en gine, and operate at once when that strain was dis continued. Had the carriages on the Gothland incline been thus provided the accident would not have been attended with the fatal results we have mentioned. It may probably be objected that in convenience would resalt by the adoption of the plan proposed, when it was necessary to shunt a train from behind, Of in backing it ; but surely these are difficulties which practical engineering skill could easily overcome. Let the Board of Trade issue its fiat that such precautions must be taken, and railway companies will soon find engineers able and willing to carry them out. Death of Mr, Puller, M,P, for Hertfordshire. Mr. Christopher William Giles-Puller, M.P, for Hertfordshire, died, after a short illness, on Tues day, at his seat, Youngsbury, near Ware. Al,though Mr. Puller was not a great orator or a conspicuous politician, there was sc'srcely any member of the House of Commons more popular with all parties. Mr. Puller was born in 1807, and was the son of Sir Christopher Giles-Puller, Chief Justice of Cal cutta, by Louisa, daughter of Mr. Joseph King, of Taplow. He was educated at Eton, and took a double first class at Oxford, as a member of Christ Church, in 1828. In 1832 he was called to the bar, and practised in the Court of Chancery till 1641, He first con►_ested Hertfordshire in the Liberal in terest in 1852, but was defeated, Sir E. B. Lytton, Sir H. Meux, and Mr. Halsey being returned on Conservative principles. In 1857 he again came forward for the county under peculiar circumstances. It had been " arranged" that one of the three seats for the county should be resigned to the Whig party. Sir Henry Meux had intimated his inten tion of resigning his seat, but—owing to certain weaknesses of temperament which ultimately be came unpleasantly known to the public—he with drew his resignation, and Mr. Abel Smith most honourably . retired from the contest. Mr. Puller was proposed by Mr. W. F. Cowper, M.P. for the borough of Hertford, and was elected without op • position, his colleagues being Sir E. B. Lytton and Sir H. Meux. He does not appear to have made on this occasion any explicit declaration of his political opinions, exaept on the China question, on which he agreed substantially with Lord Palmer ston. In 1859 (May 2) Mr. Puller was returned again with Sir E. B. Lytton and Mr. Abel Smith. He attacked, in his speech at the hustings, the Derby Reform Bill, bat admitted that there were good points in it, as for instance the .£lO county franchise. Mr. Puller was, as we have said, a Whig; but he was one of a moderate and truly liberal character. He was a strong opponent of the ballot ; he always voted against the e.bJlition of church rates ; he voted against the abolition of the paper duty; and in fact was practically a Liberal Conservative of the most sensible class, like Sir Robert Peel, "Liberal from feeling, Conservative from priuciplt," as the late Prince Consort once said. Mr. Puller married, in 1831, Emily, youngest daughter of Mr. William Blake, of Danesbury,Hert fordshire, by whom he had a large family_ His suns were, like himself, educated at Eton, and some have distinguished themselves as proficients in ma thematics and modern languages. One is a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and another an able member of Baliiol College, Oxford. The Seizure of the Pampero, This case was called on Wednesday before Lord Orraidale as Judge Ordinary of Exchequer in Scotland, for the hearing of counsel on the pre liminary objections to the information. Mr. Clark, for the owners, complained of the information as bad in law, and as not properly libelling the offences constituted by the Enlistment Act. He took the objection stated in the Alexandra case, but not disposed of (that case having turned on other points), that the information combined and mixed up'two offences which wer3 quite distinct in the statute. There were 98 counts in the information, of which 96 related to the equipment of the ship with intent to be employed in the service of a cer tain foreign state, and with intent to cruise and commit hostilities against another foreign State. Now, the statute contemplated two offences in this branch of it,—first, the equipment of a ship with intent that it should be employed in the service of a foreign State as a transport or storeship ; and, second, the equipment of any ship or vessel with intent to cruise and commit hostilities against a foreign State. The information had, be held, con founded these two things by applying both intents to the one act of equipment—namely, of the cruiser. The Act being directed against British subjects, the intent libelled must apply to British subjects. It was quite conceded both by the Bar and the Bench in the Alexandra case that it was a perfectly lawful thing for a person to build and arm a vessel of war, and send it to a foreign part, being the port of a belligerent Power, and sell that ship there as an armed ship. That had been decided over and over again, and especially in the Ametican Cou rts, under the Act of Congress on this matter , which was fully more strict than the British statute. L ord Ormidale—Would they hold that now ? (A laugh.) Mr. Clark—The Judges certainly would, whatever the people might say. His Lordship would observe, therefore, that in fitting out the vessel and sending her ont to the port of a belligerent Power, the per sous so fitting her out could not have the intent to employ her as a ship of war. Lord Ormidale— Suppose there was an antecedent contract ? Mr. Clark did not think that would vary the matter at all, because to constitute an offence under this statute the employment of the ship must not be the employment by a foreign Power, but an employ meat by the persons, being British subjects , wno equipped the ship. As he read these counts, they expressed an intent on the part of the foreign State to cruise and commit hostilities ; at all events, they did not connect that intent with the persons who equipped the vessel. The only good count in the series was the 97th, which alleged the intent that the vessel would be employed as a transport or storeship by a foreign State, the 98th count being also open to objection. Mr. Shand followed on behalf of the builders, objecting to the case going to trial on an ambiguous and irrelevant information. He held that at least 72 of the counts were objec tionable. Mr. Rutherford asked adjournment before Crown counsel should reply, which was granted. REPRESENTATION OF GREAT YARMOUTH.—The Liberals, it is understood, propose to bring forward Mr. W. F. I M'Cullagh Torrens (author of the " Life of Sir J, Graham" and other works, and M.P. for Dundalk in the Parliament of 1847) and Mr. David Falcke, as candi dates for Great Yarmouth at the next election. Mr. M'Cullagh Torrens was returned for the town in 1857, but was unseated on petition. Mr. Falcke, who is of the Hebrew persuasion, and a highly respectable retired trades man, was recently appointed by the Lord Chancellor, one of the magistrates for the borough. The Conservatives will again support the sitting members, Sir E. H. K. Lacon, Bart., and Sir H. J. Stracy, Bart. THE SOMERS FuND.---Among the list of Dublin contributors we find all parties, such as The O'Connor Don, M.P. (a Conservative), J. M‘Namara Cantwell, F. Mac donogh, M.P., Q.C., and his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle, but a writer in the Mail states that none of those gentlemen who got valuable arpointments in all branches of the services, civil and military, have as yet subscribed. If so, it shows great ingratitude. We would recommend a committee here, which would do much good for the widow and orphan. A SHILLING'S WORTH OF BLASPHEMY ! The Paris Presse announces that M.

On the occasion of the death of the Duchess of Parma, an application was made to the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris to obtain the cecebratio❑ of a solemn funeral service at Notre-Dame. The reply of Mgr. Darhoy was as follows : "Monsieur,—You have done me the honour of expressing the desire that a funeral service should be celebrated at Notre-D•;me on the occasion of the death of the Duchess of Parma, as was done, you believe, on the deaths of Charles X. and the Dauphin. It is hardly necessary for me to re mark that the question is not to obtain the per formance of a low mass, or, an ordinary service. All Catholics may demand such prayers from their cures, and all cures may celebrate such masses without my special permission, as is done every day. If, therefore, I am consulted in the present instance, the reason is that the service contemplated would be one of a parti cular character, and it is that peculiar character, rendering my intervention necessary, which deprives me of the power of acceding to the request made, The precedents which you allege do not exist, or rather are of quite an opposite nature. No service was celebrated at Notre-Dame on the death of Charles X.; the noble and devoted Mgr. de Quelen, who was then Archbishop of Paris, even wrote to all his cures that no such service was to be cele brated in any parish of his diocese. ' A request has been made to me,' says the circular of the 17th of November, 1836, and will no doubt be addressed to the cures of the different parishes, to allow solemn services to be performed for the repose of the soul of , the deceased King. lam thus under the necessity of tracing out for those cures a line of conduct which will shield them from all reproach. Ido not fear to take upon myself the entire responsibility of such a course, in order to exonerate them completely!—After stating the reasons for his (recision Mgr. Quelen continues : —' These considerations may serve you to persuade those persons demanding solemn services for Charles X. not to persevere in their request. I trust that not one of those persons will fail to be satisfied with your reply when you declare that you ace only the organ of the chief pastor.' Allow me, sir, to use at present the same language, and to hope that you will not refuse to look upon it as simply what I intend it to be, and what the friends of Mgr. de Quelen saw in his words—the prudence and senti ments of a bishop who feels his responsibility but does not shrink from it, who knows his duty and fulfils it.—Accept, &c., " t G., Archbishop of Paris," BOURSE, Feb. 18.—Sales from realisation have acted on the market during the morning, and Threes, for the Account, have receded to 661. 60c.

BRESLAU, FEB. 18. Advices received hare from Poland state that, on being informed that the Russian Colonel Bent kowski was marching against him, the insurgent leader Bosak sent a detachment to the forest of for the purpose of making a diversion. Atter a short engagement the Russians retreated to Baranow. In the meantime Bosak proceeded by forced marches towards the town of Konskie, attacked the Russian garrison on the Bth inst., and drove them out of the town. The Russians were then attacked by the detachments under Kurowski and Rudowski, and lost their military chest, 11 baggage waggons, 200 muskets, and 32 prisoners, while 87 were left dead on the field. The station-master of the railway terminus in this town has been arrested by the Prussian autho rities, and sent to Berlin to appear before the Supreme. Court. Almost all the guards of the Warsaw and Vienna Railway have been arrested. Destruction by Fire of Boymans' Museum, Rotterdam: (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) ROTTERDAM, Feb. 17. The Boymans' Museum, containing one of the mast valuable collections of paintings, sculpture, and Japanese treasures in the kingdom, was last night consumed by fire. A few of the smallzr paintings have been saved, but the most valuable portion of the collection has been destroyed. The fire it seems was occasioned through the carelessness of the workmen engaged in repairing a portion of the bailding. By this fire Rotterdam loses one of its leading attractions. Tile collection was left to the city by the late William boymans, but has since baen considerably increased by purchases made by the municipality. Most of the paintings were of great value, and as they were all by deceased mas ters the loss is irreparable.

TIIE PRINCE REGENT AND THE DANDIES.—The Prince Regent at the dandy epoch was already an old man, though he did not wish to have it generally known. He had flung away his manhood after his youth. He had neither nerves nor stomach now to play his old part of Buck and Blcod. The swaggering muscular graceless. ness of his younger days could not be acted over again. lie was left with a shattered constitution, a ruined figure, an unlovely fame, to hide beneath an auburn wig the grey hairs which no one respected. He owed some favour to the set of men surrounding him, wh3 for his sake made debility the vogue, and unmanliness de rigueur. Th e dand.es were for some time successful in their worthless endeavours. They established quite an apothbosis; of effeminacy. The world of fashion bowed low in adoration of the clothes horse,—Once a Week. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. -AP-- • - (From the _London Gazette of this Evening.) WAR OFFICE, FEB. 18. The Secretary of Stare for War has this day re ceived despatches from L•eut.-General Cameron. C. 8., comrnanqing her Al+sty's forces in /sT.ve Z,,aland, from which we extract, the following : Head Quarters, Camp Rangariri, Nov. 26, 1863. My Lord,—After the evacuation of their position of Mere-Mere, reported in my last despatch, the rebel natives collected twelve miles higher up the Waikato River at Rangiriri, where previous to the outbreak of hostilities, they had constructed a very strong line of entrenchment across the narrow is , hmus which divides the Waikato from Lake Waikare, thus completely barring the road up the right bank of the river, Having reconnoitred this position in the Pioneer, on the 18th instant, I dete , mined on landing a force in rear of the line of entrenchment for the purpose of cutting off the retreat of the enemy simultaneously with attacking him in front. With this view the head quarters 40th Regiment, 300 strong, under Colonel Leslie, C. 8., were embarked on the 20th instant, on boardthe Colonial steamers, Pioneer and Avon, which, with;fourfgunboats, proceeded up the Wai kato, under command of Commodore Sir W. Wiseman, whilst with another force named in the margin I moved towards Rangiriri, by the right bank of the river. Both arrived near Rangiriri at the same time, 3 p.m. The troops were hardly in position when the enemy opened a heavy fire of musketry on every part of his line, but without effect, the troops being under cover of the blow of the hill. I had arranged with Commodore Sir William * Wiseman that the guns attached to the force under my command and those of the gunboats should, on a preconcerted signal, open fire nt the same moment when the Pioneer and Avon should also land the 40th Regiment. But the strength of the wind and current rendered the steamers and gunboats almost unmanageable, and at half-past three o'clock, when I gave the signal, only one of the gunboats was ready to open fire, and the steamers were still far from the landing place. After shelling the enemy's works for an hour and a half —the day being now fat advanced, and there being little prospect of the remainder of the gunboats getting into nosi• tion, or of the steamers reaching the landing place, I gave the orders for the assault. The whole line of skirmishers and supports rushed eagerly do w the slope of the hill, and advanced towards the entrenchment at as rapid a pace as the rugged and un even nature of the intervening ground would aimit, ekposed the whole time to a destructive fire from the enemy. The skirmishers of the 65th Regiaient having approached to within fifty yards of the entrenchment, and the scaling ladders having been quickly planted under cover of their fire, the skirmishers and the ladder party followed by the support, mounted the parapet, and forced their way over the enemy's first line, then wheeling to the left and charging up the hill, they carried the second tine of rifle pits and continued to drive the enemy before them until their prdgress was checked by a deadly fire opened upon them from the centre redoubt, which the enemy appeared determined to defend to the last. The remainder of the troops on the left, finding it im possible to penetrate the enemy's position on that side, joined the attack on the right, and with the 65th Regiment occupied positions round the central redoubt, almost com pletely enveloping the enemy. Soon after the 65th had passed the main line of en trencbment, I had the satisfaction of seeing the 40th Regiment landing from the Pioneer and Avon, not far from the spot I had selected. Colonel Leslie, without wait ing for the companies to form, directed Captain Clarke to take the first 50 men who were landed and attack the ridge in rear of the enemy's position, whilst he moved with 100 men round its base, for the purpose of intercepting the enemy, The ridge was carried at once, and a great number of the enemy were killed or drowned in endeavouring to escape across the swamp at Lake Waikare. A portion of the 65th Regiment, after passing the main line of entrenchment, joined the 40th in this attack. Leaving a detachment to occupy the ridge, Colonel Leslie, with the remainder of his regiment, joined the lorce en gage' at the central redoubt. This work the enemy continued to defend with great tenacity and resolution. I ordered two successive assaults to be made on it, the first by the Rsyal Artillery, armed with revolvers, and led by Captain Mercer; the second by 90 men of the Royal Navy, armed in a similar manner, and led by Commander Mayne, under the personal direc tion of Commodore Sir William Wiseman. Both assaults were matte with great gallantry, but the formidable nature of the work, and the deadly fire directed on the assailants. rendered it impos-ible for them to effect an entrance. An attempt was afterwards made by a party of seamen, under Commander Phillimore, H M.S. Curacoa, to dislodge the nem y from the work by hand grenades, but without success. It being now dark, 1 resolved to postpone further ope, Et. tions until daylight, ordering the troops to remain during the night in the several positions they had gained. At daybreak Uolonel Mould, C. 8., Commanding Royal Engineer, suggested that a breach should be made in the redoubt by labour with the pick and shovel, and this opera tion was in progress when at about 6 o'clock the enemy hoisted a white flag, and 183 men surrendered uncondi tionally, and laid down their arms. I beg to mention the names of Commander Mayne, her Majesty's ship Eclipse, and Lieutenant Alexander, her Majesty's ship Curacoa, who particularly distinguished themselves. Captain Lacy, commanding her Majesty's ship Himalaya, accompanied me in the march to Rangiriri, and was present during the whole of the engagement.—l have, &c., (Signed) D. A. CAMERON, Lieut.-General. CASUALTIES —Midshipman Watkins, of H. M. S.

The Late Miss Alicia Campbell (Lord Clyde's Sister). Letters of administrate - ou have been granted by the Court of Probate to Mr. P. S. Maeliver, editor and proprietor of the Western Daily Press (Bristol), as one of the next of kin of the late Miss Alicia Campbell, of 4, Stanhope-t-rrace, Hide -park. The circumstances of Miss Campbell's death were very touching, and the event coming so soon after the decease of her noble brother, they possess a mourn ful interest. Except a tendency to short breathing, she was a lady of robast health, with a fine flow of spirits and great energy and decisio❑ of character. On the morning of the 30th December no danger was apprehended, although she was confined to her room; in the evening she was dead. Two faithful friends of 30 years' standing watched her last mo ments and performed the last offices with greet kindness and consideration. The attack of illness wai so sudden that the first intimation which General Eyre (Lord Clyde's executor) received was a telegram announcing Miss Campbelt's death. The funeral took place on the 6th January, at Ken sal-green Cemetery, and in the same ground which General Eyre had purchased, in August last, for Lord Clyde's tomb, his lordship's sister was buried by a few friends who had long known and re spected brother and sister. Lord Clyde, by his will, made a handsome provision for his sister of £l,OOO a year, derivable from an investment of X 33,000 Consols, besides constituting her joint residuary legatee with General Eyre. The first half -yearly payment of this annuity became due on the Bth Jan. —two days after Miss Campbell was in her grave, In the letters of administration the deceased is st) led " Alicia Macliver, otherwise Campbell," the first being the name of her fattier and the name in which she is officially registered in Glatgow ; the second being her mother's name, which she adopted after tier brother was enrolled at th • Horse Guards as Colin Campbell. The father, Mr. John Macliver, was related as uncle to the gentleman who is ap pointed to act as administrator to his deceased cousin. That venerable sire of a noble son :Maine(' to a patriarchal age, exceeding 90, and lived to see his son a peer of the realm. His daughter Alicia was a most dutiful comforter of the old man's de clining years. Her death, while sudden and unex pected, was peeceful and happy. Those who knew her best will miss her most. Miss Campbell's age was 69, or -two years less than her brother's. AUSTRALIAN PORTRAITS OF THE PRINCESS ALEX ANDRA.—The following is an extract from a pri vate letter which arrived yesterday :—"H. and I wont a few days ago to see the White Swan Hotel, in Chandos. Street, kept by a Mrs. Haller, who has a pretty daughter. As soon as H. saw the latter, she said, 'Bless me, how like you are to the Princess Alexandra.' `Yes,' said the young lady, laughing, I believe so.' Indeed you are, continued H.; ' has nobody ever told you so ?" Oh, Yes,' replied the other, laughing again : and then added in au under tone, to tell you the truth I have stood for a portrait of the Princess, and na,ny hundreds of my likenesses have been sold for hers ;' Then she explained that a photographic artist, who frequented the house, had asked her to oblige him by standing for the purpose, and for the fun of the thing she had consented, and that is the way in which some of the exact likenesses of 'the princess have been produced." —Bathurst Zimes, soy. 19, 1863. triart ( 4, 5101° HER MAJESTY. • e F = B.
